Although these institutes are more expensive than public universities in France, ''Grandes Écoles'' typically have much smaller class sizes and student bodies, and many of their programs are taught in English. International internships, study abroad opportunities, and close ties with government and the corporate world are a hallmark of the ''Grandes Écoles''. Many of the top ranked schools in Europe are members of the '' Conférence des Grandes Écoles'' ''(CGE)'', as are the Sciences Po institutions. Degrees from Sciences Po are accredited by the ''Conférence des Grandes Écoles'' and awarded by the Ministry of National Education (France) (french: Le Ministère de L'éducation Nationale). The institute is modeled on the former ''

'', and as such, Sciences Po specializes in political science, but uses an interdisciplinary approach to education that provides student generalists with the high level of grounding in skills that they need in History, Law, Economic Sciences, Sociology, Political science and International relations, enriched by specialization in years 4 and 5, after a 3rd year either on a professional placement in France or overseas or alternatively studying at a foreign university. The third year of the curriculum is a year of mobility abroad, and students have the choice, they can spend two semesters in a foreign university, one semester in a university and one semester internship or they also have the opportunity to spend two semesters as a trainee. The academic course lasts five years, and it is a three-year undergraduate programme and a two-year graduate programme and the primary diploma is a master's degree.


First cycle

The first two years cover a broad set of subjects ranging from Economics, History and Sociology to Corporate Finance, Modern Languages and Law (taught by Florence Benoit-Rohmer). The third year is spent abroad, either at one of the IEP's 100+ partner universities, or as an intern in a firm or corporation (regardless of location). Partner universities include the
